    It could better, with changes.

    There were positives and negatives at the Sand Rose on SPI. The staff are really good people, polite and nice. The hotel itself is kept clean, room was clean, bed was pretty comfortable. Breakfast was good, omelettes at the omelette station were great as were the lovely ladies making them. Our big problem with this hotel were several of the other guests in the pool area, from a women screaming obscenities at her child for a solid 45 minutes, to very rude guests blaring their boom box with music that was NOT for everyone, not to mention the unsupervised rude children in the pool. I'd highly recommend to management that they keep the pool area monitored by a staff member. This was our 3rd stay at this hotel, we honestly have no desire to go back after these experiences.

    Sand Rose did not disappoint!

    Friendly staff, breakfast and security guards enforced rules with no incidents during our stay. Clean rooms, swimming pool and short walk to the beach. Happy hour was also available at the poolside restaurant.

    A perfect spot for the family. You won’t want to leave!

    Our room was very clean. The breakfast was the best part. Lol. They offered the best breakfast we have ever had at a hotel. Freshly made omelets to biscuits and gravy. Everything was amazing. A few steps out the back door your at the pool and then a few more and your at the beach! The beach is so beautiful during the day and so peaceful at night! A few more elevators need to be installed to accommodate the millions of guests that filter thru the doors. But that is honestly the only downfall we could think of. Other than that the location is also great. It was a magical stay for us.

    Excellent location near all the restaurants and live music. Beach front

    Excellent beach front room with a side view. Price was great for the island. Free excellent breakfast made to order. Very accommodating staff. Excellent location near the action I’ve music and dining. Beautiful views. Parking was a little rough. And pool was a little small. Other than that amazing.

    Awesome stay.

    I love staying at Sand Rose EVERY summer vacation on South Padre Island. (Even when it was called something else before.) It has the best rates and closest on the beach. Serves a hot delicious breakfast every morning! It's included! It's not the same thing every day either. Also made to order omelettes and tacos! You walk out the back door and boom your on the beach! There's a poolside café. Which is reasonably priced and delicious. Place your order and a cutie brings it to you on the patio or poolside. Across the street is Sea Turtle Inc. Rooms are clean. Prices are good. Staff are awesome. Can't beat it. Thanks and see you next year!
